COLD DARK ROOM

[Lyn W]

I can't find the thread you're talking about.

It's in site help and feedback under the heading Help from Jamie5times.
I thought he was a very young lad, and was concerned he wouldn't get the advice he was looking for
but looking through other threads he had already posted a similar question in the right place before that one and, if his profile is correct, he's 39!
It's not urgent.

There is something quite strange going on in my living room.
It's all quiet in here - no tv or radio on - but every now and again I hear what sounds like a donkey braying!!!
Only a small donkey, because it's not that loud and I certainly can't see a donkey!
It seems to be coming from different parts of the room so whatever it is must be moving around....very strange.
I am wondering if it could possibly be a frog that has come in while the doors were open today but I don't think I've ever heard a frog make a noise like that.
I am going to get my fishing/butterfly net and have a look for my visitor!!!
I'll be back..............................................or will I?

Can’t wait to see who the peep/perp is!

Can’t wait to see who the peep/perp is!

Well I've had a quick look in all the places it could hide and found nothing!
So I'm going to wait until I hear it again and pounce, if I suddenly disappear that's where I am!

Oh Lyn.... rule number 1 in scary movie is to never say “I’ll be back”.... I can already hear the horror music in The back ground [emoji317]

Still all quiet on the western front. I've got my net, a torch and, if it is a frog, a bowl of water on the floor to lure him out - tap water isn't good for them but it's better than nothing if he's been stuck inside!!

 

[Lyn W]

Well I've just found my intruder!!
It's my mobile phone!!
No wonder the sound was moving around it was in my pocket!!
I've only had this phone for a couple for months - it's a cheap spare I bought when the touch screen on my other went berserk.
I haven't heard it before but it has a weird battery low signal that does sound exactly like a donkey with a sore throat!
So mystery solved! I can rest easy in my bed tonight!

 

[Lyn W]

...and talking of bed I had better go find mine - after I've put my phone on charge!
So nos da all have a good evening/night and I'll see you tomorrow!!
Take care

Omg... that’s hilarious!!![emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

That's wonderful. It's great that you found something you are really interested in. I've been checking out aquariums and bettas all day. Pro's and con's of a 5g. I still want probably a 5g but 10g isn't out of the question. It depends on the dimensions of where it will be sitting. I do know I want a betta.

I’ll just say go big as you can. The more a poison is diluted, the less it harms you, giving you the chance to find the antidote.

Nice background, and another internal filter! I never had one, only hang on and canister...

 

[CarolM]

It is new. Maybe still in the first season. I hope it doesn’t get cancelled.

I hate it when they cancel programs. You always get into it and they end the season on a cliff hanger, then cancel. [emoji35]

[emoji23] [emoji23] that's when I switch off and come to the CDR rooms.

The company pays. I have done the airport shuttle in the past, but if his company are willing to send a taxi to get him that’s far better! Especially when the flight is delayed.

His flight arrival has been pushed back a further hour (two and a half hours late now). It must have hit head winds as well as had to fly round Pakistan. He’ll probably be home about 11pm now.

Same with our congress and senate. I had a devious plan in place with my 2 sons. They either found a way to get along or else. First they had to sit down for several minutes if they were fighting. I wouldn't listen to who blamed who. After about 10 minutes they had to kiss each other on the cheek. Since that thought was so disgusting, they usually found a way to not fight. Now I'm wondering if I was a bad mom...

That is a brilliant plan.

 

[CarolM]

Whew! At this rate it will be Autumn by the time I get my yard spring clean up done. I've finished the leopard yard and the desert tortoise yard but still have 5 more yards to go. And the leopard yard needs mowing again! It's heck to get old. I run out of steam way too soon.

I haven't seen that yet.

 

[KarenSoCal]

That's looks like the one I'm seeing at petsmart. I still have a lot of studies to do. I will buy the right size aquarium when I can get it cheap cheap. Get it set up then wait until I find my little one.

That's a very good idea, Cathie. The tank has to be cycled, whether it's done fish in or fish out. That process can sometimes take weeks to accomplish, so it's better if the fish is not in the tank. Then, when it has been up and running, with good water quality, for 2-4 weeks, it will be just right for Mr. Betta, and he won't be stressed by fluctuating values on ammomia, nitrite, and nitrates.

 

[CarolM]

Sorry. It’s plain brilliant.

Lol. After a while I realised that the earphones where connected to my phone but not in my ears. .....which explains why I did not hear it. [emoji85] [emoji85] [emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23]
